    Tool: get_k8s_logs

    Gets logs from a Kubernetes container in a pod. This is similar to running kubectl logs .

    The following sample demonstrate how to use curl to invoke the get_k8s_logs MCP tool.

 }
    Fields
    parent

    string

    Required. The cluster to retrieve logs from. Format: projects/{project}/locations/{location}/clusters/{cluster}

    name

    string

    Required. The name of the resource to retrieve logs from. This can be a pod name (e.g. "my-pod") or a type/name (e.g. "deployment/my-deployment"). If a type is not specified, "pod" is assumed.

    namespace

    string

    Optional. The namespace of the resource. If not specified, "default" is used.

    allContainers

    boolean

    Optional. If true, retrieve logs from all containers in the pod.

    container

    string

    Optional. The name of the container to retrieve logs from. If not specified, logs from the first container are returned.

    previous

    boolean

    Optional. If true, retrieve logs from the previous instantiation of the container.

    timestamps

    boolean

    Optional. If true, include timestamps in the log output.

    tail

    string ( int64 format)

    Optional. The number of lines from the end of the logs to show.

    Union field since_filter . Only one of since_time and since can be set. since_filter can be only one of the following:
    sinceTime

    string ( Timestamp format)

    Optional. Retrieve logs since this time (RFC3339). e.g. "2024-08-30T06:00:00Z".

    Uses RFC 3339, where generated output will always be Z-normalized and use 0, 3, 6 or 9 fractional digits. Offsets other than "Z" are also accepted. Examples: "2014-10-02T15:01:23Z" , "2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z" or "2014-10-02T15:01:23+05:30" .

    since

    string ( Duration format)

    Optional. Retrieve logs since this duration ago (e.g. "1h", "10m").

    A duration in seconds with up to nine fractional digits, ending with ' s '. Example: "3.5s" .

    Timestamp

    JSON representation 
     { 
 "seconds" 
 : 
 string 
 , 
 "nanos" 
 : 
 integer 
 }
    Fields
    seconds

    string ( int64 format)

    Represents seconds of UTC time since Unix epoch 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Must be between -62135596800 and 253402300799 inclusive (which corresponds to 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z to 9999-12-31T23:59:59Z).
    nanos

    integer

    Non-negative fractions of a second at nanosecond resolution. This field is the nanosecond portion of the duration, not an alternative to seconds. Negative second values with fractions must still have non-negative nanos values that count forward in time. Must be between 0 and 999,999,999 inclusive.

    Duration

    JSON representation 
     { 
 "seconds" 
 : 
 string 
 , 
 "nanos" 
 : 
 integer 
 }
    Fields
    seconds

    string ( int64 format)

    Signed seconds of the span of time. Must be from -315,576,000,000 to +315,576,000,000 inclusive. Note: these bounds are computed from: 60 sec/min * 60 min/hr * 24 hr/day * 365.25 days/year * 10000 years
    nanos

    integer

    Signed fractions of a second at nanosecond resolution of the span of time. Durations less than one second are represented with a 0 seconds field and a positive or negative nanos field. For durations of one second or more, a non-zero value for the nanos field must be of the same sign as the seconds field. Must be from -999,999,999 to +999,999,999 inclusive.

    Output Schema

    KubeLogsResponse is the response message for retrieving Kubernetes logs.

    Fields
    logs

    string

    The logs from the resources.
    errors[]

    object ( Status )

    Errors encountered during log retrieval.

    Status

     { 
 "code"

 }
    Fields
    code

    integer

    The status code, which should be an enum value of google.rpc.Code .
    message

    string

    A developer-facing error message, which should be in English. Any user-facing error message should be localized and sent in the google.rpc.Status.details field, or localized by the client.
    details[]

    object

    A list of messages that carry the error details. There is a common set of message types for APIs to use.

    An object containing fields of an arbitrary type. An additional field "@type" contains a URI identifying the type. Example: { "id": 1234, "@type": "types.example.com/standard/id" } .

    Any

    JSON representation 
     { 
 "typeUrl" 
 : 
 string 
 , 
 "value" 
 : 
 string 
 }
    Fields
    typeUrl

    string

    Identifies the type of the serialized Protobuf message with a URI reference consisting of a prefix ending in a slash and the fully-qualified type name.

    Example: type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.StringValue

    This string must contain at least one / character, and the content after the last / must be the fully-qualified name of the type in canonical form, without a leading dot. Do not write a scheme on these URI references so that clients do not attempt to contact them.

    The prefix is arbitrary and Protobuf implementations are expected to simply strip off everything up to and including the last / to identify the type. type.googleapis.com/ is a common default prefix that some legacy implementations require. This prefix does not indicate the origin of the type, and URIs containing it are not expected to respond to any requests.

    All type URL strings must be legal URI references with the additional restriction (for the text format) that the content of the reference must consist only of alphanumeric characters, percent-encoded escapes, and characters in the following set (not including the outer backticks): /-.~_!$&()*+,;= . Despite our allowing percent encodings, implementations should not unescape them to prevent confusion with existing parsers. For example, type.googleapis.com%2FFoo should be rejected.

    In the original design of Any , the possibility of launching a type resolution service at these type URLs was considered but Protobuf never implemented one and considers contacting these URLs to be problematic and a potential security issue. Do not attempt to contact type URLs.
    value

    string ( bytes format)

    Holds a Protobuf serialization of the type described by type_url.

    A base64-encoded string.
